My favorite memory from a Halloween spent in UA is… Elementary School, because you would line up by class and everybody got to see your costume.

My favorite part of Halloween in UA is… the costume creativity. You can see that kids with big crazy costumes really put a good amount of time and effort into the costume.

My best costume was... Finn the Human from Adventure Time because we didn’t just go to a Halloween store and buy a costume; we went out and bought all the parts for the costume.

The most popular costume this year will be… anything related to Harambe.

You should dress up as… whatever you want, but you have to know that there are little kids walking about with their parents.

My favorite memory from a Halloween spent in UA is…. tripping and falling into a ditch in the dark. That was fun!

My favorite part of Halloween in UA is… the candy, especially the Buckeyes.

This Halloween, I am looking forward to… the candy, obviously.

This Halloween, I will be… taking my sister trick-or-treating with my neighbors, unless the clowns are on the loose.

The most popular costumes this year will be… Snapchat filters and Harley Quinn.

It’s not okay to dress up as… Caitlyn Jenner and other related costumes because they represent an almost mocking attitude towards certain groups of people.

The cutest baby costume is… a ladybug.

My favorite memory from a Halloween spent in UA is… when a kid had rung the doorbell at my house and was dressed as himself. I asked him what he had dressed up as and he said “I am dressed up as myself because I’m so cool.”

My favorite part of Halloween in UA is… passing out candy to all the kids and seeing all their costumes. This adduces to the sense of community present in UA.

My least favorite part of Halloween in UA is… that the timing of Halloween is so short.  Growing up, I would hit so many neighborhoods strategically in order to have candy to last the whole year.

My favorite costume from my childhood was… when I dressed up as a pirate.

My least favorite costume from my childhood was… when I was a werewolf.
